Installed jdk8

I don't think the standalone sdk tools exist anymore, just downloading and installing Android Studio then. https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html?pkg=tools
Oh, here are the standalone CLI tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads
While installing Android Studio, I have custom installed to include the Virtual Device emulator. I hope it runs better than the Windows version which was way slow.
I have then added:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_112.jdk/Contents/Home/
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/colelawrence/Library/Android/sdkin my ~/.zshrc file.
I didn't have my Android set up with OSX to do anything yet, so I immediately sought the https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging/ article to get the right drivers without getting the wrong virus.
JK, I just needed to enable USB debugging, no driver needed.
Following https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/index.html
Could not get ios-deploy to install, so I switched to node 6 using nvm use 6
Node 6 has better support for most packages at the moment. (not necessarily significant just safe)
Ran into error
stderr: xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance`And found this helpful comment nodejs/node-gyp#569 (comment)
